Eva Schmidt: Cancer Survivor

911 Angels,

Happy Spring !!! I came across this beautiful photo of Eva Schmidt; a breast cancer survivor in Flickr. And although I don't know Eva, she serves as a reminder why year after year .. we walk. We walk because so many need us. Eva is just one of many. And I love that next to her name, we are able to type the words SURVIVOR!!!

We have 4 new registered walkers in the last week.. 1 returning walker and 3 new!!!

I am SO excited that Teresa Zagalo has decided to walk again for the 3rd year... and SO very impressed that within just a few days of registering she has ALREADY banked $1,440.00 into her account !!!! In fact, those 911 Angels of Fire are ALWAYS so inspiring. There are only a few of them but they raise a lot of money and they raise it fast!!!! Jen, Margaret and Teresa ... Please share your fundraising tips in hopes of motivating others on the team!!!

Welcome Kehau - SJPD 911 Angel .. 1st year joining our team and within just a few days has already raised $300 with 5 donations!!! Woooohoooo!

And Welcome both Andrea Atkinson and Catalina Cortese both representing Sunnyvale DPS !! (Catalina used to be one of our SJPD calltakers) and it is very nice to have yet another agency represented on our team!!

Congrats to those of you who continue to fundraise ... so far our team has collectively raised $8,476.00 !!! Last year we made a goal to raise $10,000 by March 25th and we succeeded !!! I think we can bypass that goal this year!!!! If you have not already done so be sure to personalize your avon walk webpage and send personal emails out to all your friends, family and contacts to let them know about your commitment to walk. That act alone should get donations rolling in. SEND A REMINDER EMAIL THIS WEEK .... because come April 1st, we have 100 days left until the walk and it's countdown from there!!!!

For those of you just beginning your fundraising .. let's set realistic mini goals on our way to raising $1,800 or more each....

By April 1st - $500
By May 1st - $1000
By June 1st - $1500
By July 1st - $1800

Hold small fundraisers (or big) in the next few months to help you achieve those goals. Garage sales are perfect right about now while your spring cleaning... plan a few of those in the next few weekends.

Please be sure to RSVP to the team meeting on April 1st. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=105700636119668
Bring your list of fundraisers and dates that you have planned so we can put it on the calender!! We will also plan Training Walks on both sides of the weeks, morning and nights. We will also start planning this years "Pink Party" and discuss team shirts for the walk. Hope to see you all on April 1st !!!
